OUR GOALS
IMPROVE & BUILD UPON SERVICES
PROVIDE SERVICES TO MORE FAMILIES
Over the past 20 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Kennebec Valley has been a
vital community resource, serving over 20,000 children and acting as the
area’s recreation department and community center. A new, efficient,
multi-functional facility will ensure the Club will be able to continue
providing services for years to come.
Redevelopment of the facility will increase the capacity of each program,
welcoming 50% more children in the Early Childhood program and 35%
more in the School-Age and Teen programs.
The new facility will position BGCKV’s Early Childhood and School-Age
programs for national accreditation, ensuring children are well-equipped
when entering Kindergarten and offered well-rounded educational
opportunities based on STEAM principles. A full campus redevelopment
will also enhance the area’s youth and high school sports programs.
This project will strengthen families, build community, and support
economic development throughout Kennebec Valley by providing
safe, high-quality, and affordable programs to more children within
a multi-functional campus that meets the needs of the community.
Together We Can!
Boys & Girls Clubs of Kennebec Valley
established its $10M Great Futures
Capital Campaign to address the urgent
and immediate needs of the organization.
Since 2003, the Club has operated youth
and community programming within the
existing footprint of a repurposed
elementary school. Due to the age and
space constraints of the facility, the
organization is now at maximum capacity
and faces the challenges of structural
disrepair, antiquated mechanical systems
and failing equipment.
The successful completion of this capital
campaign will result in a full campus
redevelopment, including a new, larger
Clubhouse facility and a properly
engineered sports field to support youth
and high school sports programs.
